Star Wall Clock

Product Description

Belief in progress and growing economic prosperity were central aspects of the American way of life around 1950. Everything seemed possible, and people strove to be 'modern'. With the aim of bringing modern design into American homes, George Nelson conceived a wide array of everyday objects: lamps, clocks and other domestic accessories. Up until the 1970s, the Nelson office created many different items for the home, including the 'Bubble Lamps' and the 'Ball Clock', which became icons of mid-century modern design.

George Nelson was confronted to Architecture at Yale University and then at the American Academy in Rome. He became editor in chief of the ‘Architectural Forum’ from 1935 to 1944.

In 1946 he created his own Architecture and Industrial design business, and became famous for his pieces he created for Vitra, such as the Coconut chair, his Clocks and the Marshmallow Sofa. Since he started collaborating with Vitra in 1957, his conceptions have been acknowledged to be part of the highest standard creations of the 20th Century.
